HT1414 Is there any way to restore i-Phone contacts and photos from an earlier (not most recent) backup?
When I updated my i-Phone's version, I lost all my contacts and photos. Although I had a back-up of them, the backup disappeared when another backup was done automatically when the phone synced automatically at a later date. Is there any way to access an earlier backup, even if it is not showing under Devices in iTunes or in the Backup folder in the appropriate Apple folder under the computer's Documents and Settings?

Please start your own thread rather than by replying to a threadjacker in a post that's been dormant for over six months, especially as you couldn't have been updating to any version of iOS 5. Use a properly descriptive subject line, explain the problem you're having, what error messages you've gotten and what steps you've taken to so far to troubleshoot.
Best of luck.

my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -
is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support -

I just lost all my contacts and pictures from vacation trying to download them to my computer because my phone reset to my origional sitting. Is there a way to reset my phone back to today date or recover my pictures?
In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer. -

I have been trying to sync my outlook contacts to my iPhone one way from my PC to my iPhone, but the only one way option available is to replace the contacts on my phone with the ones on my computer. However, i dont want to replace them, but add the ones on my computer to my iDevice. is there any way to do so? And if yes, how?
No.

After restarting my computer (because my CD drive wasn't reading in iTunes) I opened the Firefox browser and all of my bookmarks and quick links in the toolbar and gone. It also deleted all saved login information for things like Yahoo mail, Facebook, etc. Any advice on restoring this stuff would be grreeeaaattt as there were some really important bookmarks saved that I would be hard pressed to find again.
You are using an old Firefox 3.0.19 version that is no longer supported.<br />
Any particular reason why you haven't updated yet?<br />

IS there any way to re-instate my contacts and diary on my i-phone as they have disappeared?
Epic technological fail. So I was an IT winner this morning when I added various email accounts to my i-phone. Celebrated with a cuppa and porridge, as you do. Went to send a text message - no contacts! Went to check my diary for today - no entries AT ALL. Ummmmm. I am trying to be a calm bunny but does anyone know what I need to do to re-instate this info. I think it might be because I have deleted an old outlook email from my phone. DOH! Apple Support say they can help me but I will need to pay for that kind of support. Grumble, grumble. I know some of you out there are technological whizzes and love nothing more than helping a damsel in distress (I have dropped the f bomb about 5 times so far)... xx
Hi David,
Unfortunately it's all-or-nothing with FB contacts, at least as it currently stands. So you'll get all your FB 'friends', and all of their birthdays...
You shouldn't however be seeing duplicate birthdays, if everything's set up correctly. You will see duplicate birthdays if:
(a) a FB contact also exists in your iCloud or local contacts, but Address Book hasn't automatically linked the two (can happen for example if the names don't exactly match), leaving two separate entries for that person (each with their birthday added, of course). In this case, select the two cards for that person and choose Link Selected Cards from the Card menu.
(b) if a FB contact also exists in your iCloud or local contacts, and Address Book has correctly matched and linked them but the birthday you had on file is different to the one the person stores on Facebook - in this case Address Book simply doesn't know which birthday is correct so uses both. Edit the contact so that the iCloud/local birthday matches the FB one, and the duplicate should disappear.
In both cases, you may have to quit and relaunch Calendar to see immediate changes.
Does that help (or even make any sense)? -
Can I transfer music photos from my old pc to my new Mac, plus I have a hard drive that is Mac compatible but all the stuff is from my pc will it transfer
Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct. -

I recently had to send my iphone off for repair and when I have got it back it has been reset to factory settings. Can I get my phonos,music etc back through icoulds ?
If your backup is incomplete you won't be able to use it. Do you have any backups on your computer? (You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices on a PC). That will list any available backups on your computer.

Is there any way I can "Move" Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from my Mac to my iPad?
I just got an iPad, and I plan to sell my Mac... So my question is, can i move products I paid for from my Mac to my iPad? The only ones I want to move are Pages, Numbers and Keynote. If there is a way, please let me know.
Thanks,

Applications for the iPad must be coded for the operating system on the iPad which is iOS.
Hence the applications for the Mac will not work on the iPad.

Is there any way to restore an iPhone 4 from a previous backup?
I accidentally deleted all my contacts from my cloud settings, prior to backing it up on the computer. I hadn't realized it until I checked my phone again. Now the current backup has no contacts. Is there any way to restore my phone from a previous back up?
Thanks in advance guys!Every backup replaces the old one, unless you use one to back up from. So, if there are no more backups listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, or your last backup has been replaced in iCloud, your info is gone.
If you included the backup folder of your computer in your backup routine, you might be able to restore backups done on the computer, see this article:
